[QUOTE="Mort, post: 8707132, member: 762"] But D&D isn't the referee vs. the players. It's the players, through their PCs, taking on the world at large. The system favoring the PCs in no way prevents a DM from running the system in a neutral manner. It just means, if the system is in fact biased toward the PCs, that run neutrally they have a much better chance of prevailing. Now those odds can easily be modified and then run neutrally from there too, but the system itself can be player biased and still run in a neutral way. You can run 5e so it's not superheroes or Grim and Gritty (or you can as either of those), you can absolutely compromise and run in a way that's fun for both. Or not, and find a group that fits your exact style. Or the DM can run in a style more in line with what the players want but put his own touches on it. If the DM is all "My way or the highway..." he can't be too upset when the players choose the highway! [/QUOTE]
